To whom does this money belong: to the husband or to the wife?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Money is a right of the man because it is an aid and assistance to him with the burdens and expenses of the family, and he is the one who bears those costs, unless the donor state stipulates that it is a gift to the wife. One can refer to the donor entity to ascertain the entitlement of each of them.
